Mitchell returns to Murray Capital as finance director – Daily Business

Murray Capital, the private investment office of the Murray family, has appointed Colin Mitchell as group finance director. He succeeds Euan Campbell, who has moved on after more than 10 years in the role.

Mr Mitchell qualified as an accountant with KPMG and knows the Murray family’s business interests well, having worked for them from 1997 until 2014.

He returns to Murray Capital after six years as group finance director at residential and construction firm Robertson Group.

David Murray, managing director of Murray Capital, said: “We are delighted to welcome Colin back to the business. His depth of experience and proven track record in financial stewardship make him a strong addition to our leadership team.

“I’d also like to thank Euan for his significant contribution over the past decade. He leaves Murray Capital strongly positioned to capitalise on the positive results of recent months and our many years of good work together. We wish him all the best in his new role.”

Mr Mitchell said it was a time of “positive momentum for the business, following the successful sale of the Redheughs site in West Edinburgh in January.

“I also had the pleasure of attending the British Business Awards in Edinburgh last week, where Murray Capital was named Family Business of the Year, so I’m glad to have made such an immediate impact on my return!

“In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to working closely again with David and the wider team and the family to support their vision to achieve the company’s long-term ambitions
